Spectroscopy of three interesting compact OB groups in the LMCwill be performed with FOS, to pursue a study of the upper IMFbegun with WFPC UBV images in Cycles 3 and 4, which newlyresolved them into multiple stellar components. They includethe massive central object and an O3 III + OB system in thegiant shell H II region N11, and a WN + OB group in the 30 Dorperiphery. These observations will provide informationrelevant to the upper stellar mass limit, as well as theevolutionary relationships between peculiar objects and theirnormal OB companions. The spectroscopy is also essential todefine the upper HRD and IMF, since the temperatures andmasses of O stars are indeterminate from continuummeasurements such as UBV photometry alone. Previous ground-based spectroscopy has integrated over several comparablecomponents in these objects; only the optically correctedHST/FOS can observe their spectra separately. From 6 to 15components in each group will be observed and analyzed todetermine their individual physical parameters and collectiveevolutionary status.
